Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way?

  Thinking, analyzing, and understanding are the hard ones. Emotion and hate require next to no effort, just some years of listening to Fox or Rush Limbaugh. They’ll tell you who to hate and be angry at.

  And like I said, hate is an easy emotion to have. If anyone is trying to tap into it, you’re likely being manipulated.

  emotion, anger and hate requires effort and as a very lazy person it seems like a whole lot of effort misspent

  Not to me. Emotions just are. My parents taught me a lot of bigoted ways and those emotions just rise up. I had to argue with myself against those thought, after I moved out and grew up.
